Abstract

An analytical quality control procedure using x-ray Secondary Emission Spectrometry has been developed to monitor iron, yttrium, and gadolinium metal ion ratios in feed stock solutions. Binary and ternary laboratory standard solutions were analyzed to determine absorption and enhancement effects using approaches suggested by Rasberry-Heinrich, Beattie-Brissey, and Claisse-Quintin. A computation scheme combining these methods is presented which enables the user to improve his ability to predict composition. This approach has yielded relative errors of less than 1.0% for each of the three metals studied.
